What led you to fostering?
"I started fostering because I always wanted to have a few kids. I was a little older when I had my first, so I decided not to have more and foster instead. I just planned on fostering and not adopting."
What made you decide to adopt?
"After about a year and a half of fostering, I was lucky enough to adopt a sibling group of three, 2 month-old twins and their 3-year-old sister."
How is your family now?
"We are now a family of 5. We are all doing well, trying to live our best lives. Playing sports and traveling when we can. We also started fostering again!"
